The HSA has been notified. Gardaí remained at the scene this Thursday afternoon and investigations were ongoing.
This is the second fatality on a farm this week, after a woman died after an apparent incident with livestock in Co Galway on Tuesday. If confirmed as farming accidents, these would bring to 14 the number of farm deaths in the Republic of Ireland so far this year.
